Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - BZ2603 dropped 1.05% to close at 6,144 yuan/ton. The supply side saw an expanded impact of shutdowns in petroleum benzene plants last week, with the capacity utilization rate decreasing by 0.29% to 77.85%. For hydrobenzene, 3 sets of devices stopped, and the capacity utilization rate dropped by 9.32% to 61.95%. On the demand side, the operating rates of pure benzene downstream varied last week. In terms of inventory, the pure benzene inventory at East China ports decreased by 5.75% to 164,000 tons this week.
